Application failed to start

#1 Could it possibly be that since I built this using VS 2005 Beta 2, that the end user will be required to have the .Net Framework 2.0?

#2 You probably compiled it with SSE/SSE2 optimization, and his CPU does not support it.

#3 He has a Athlon XP 1700, which supports SSE, but not SSE2, so that's probably my problem then.

#4 So how would I tell VC++ 2005 to compile to SSE and not SSE2

#5 Okay here is his console.log

Processor Init:
AMD Athlon, ~2.00 Ghz
(timed at roughly 2.01 Ghz)
FPU detected
MMX detected
3DNow detected
SSE detected

Math Init:
Installing Standard C extensions
Installing Assembly extensions
Installing FPU extensions
Installing MMX extensions
Installing 3DNow extensions
Installing SSE extensions

And mine are

Processor Init:
Intel Pentium 4, ~1.60 Ghz
(timed at roughly 1.60 Ghz)
FPU detected
MMX detected
SSE detected

Math Init:
Installing Standard C extensions
Installing Assembly extensions
Installing FPU extensions
Installing MMX extensions
Installing SSE extensions

mine will run with the optimized release build, his will only run with the debug build

I don't have SSE2, so why would mine work and his not. Still doesn't make sense to me.

#6 Several of my beta testers are having the same problem when they run my game. If anyone can think of a reason for this to happen, I'd also love to know.

#7 I just encountered this problem with one of our designers.

Has anyone determined the source of this issue?

Thanks

#8 Ok,

Just in case someone else isn't aware of this....

When building with VC++ 2005 and linking to the multi-thread dll's, someone that has not installed visual C++ will need to run the vcredist.exe available from microsoft in order to have the required dll's installed on their machine.

Thanks
Todd

#9 I'm getting the error as well, running Intel dual core and have the vcredist installed.
